Why Do You Combine Polyphenols With Omega-3s?

The reason why we combine polyphenols with omega-3s lies in the synergy between lipid mediators and phenolic modulators. While omega-3s provide the structural fats needed to resolve inflammation, polyphenols enhance bioavailability, prevent oxidation, and direct metabolic signaling. Together, they create a system of “intelligent fats” that go beyond basic supplementation 1.

The Synergy Explained

  • Polyphenols: Modulate inflammation (NF-κB, COX-2), prevent peroxidation of omega-3s
  • Omega-3s: Convert to resolvins and protectins, aiding resolution of chronic inflammation
  • Together: They activate SIRT1, reduce oxidative burden, and support lipid membrane fluidity

This explains why we combine polyphenols with omega-3s — they work better as a team than alone.

Why Algae Omega-3s Are Ideal

  • Purity: Algae-derived EPA/DHA avoid marine pollutants common in fish oil
  • Stability: Polyphenols protect delicate omega-3s from oxidation inside the bottle and in the body
  • Our blue-label formula combines early-harvest olive phenols with vegan EPA/DHA for full-spectrum inflammation support

Studies show that this pairing enhances endothelial function, brain health, and resolution of chronic low-grade inflammation 2.

Summary: Smarter Fat, Better Results

Combining polyphenols with omega-3s delivers enhanced anti-inflammatory power, antioxidant protection, and metabolic activation in one simple formula.

Tip: Think of polyphenols as the stabilizers and omega-3s as the signalers. Together, they tell your cells it’s time to repair.
